  Description     : Handle CAN (Controller Area Network) database formats

Binary package names: python3-canmatrix python-canmatrix

 Canmatrix implements a "Python CAN Matrix Object" which describes the
 CAN-communication and the needed objects (Boardunits, Frames, Signals, Values,
 ...)
 Canmatrix also includes two Tools (canconvert and cancompare) for
 converting and comparing CAN databases. There are also some extract and merge
 options for dealing with CAN databases.
 Supported file formats for import:
  * .dbc candb / Vector
  * .dbf Busmaster (open source!)
  * .kcd kayak (open source!)
  * .arxml autosar system description
  * .yaml dump of the python object
  * .xls(x) excel xls-import, works with .xls-file generated by this lib
  * .sym peak pcan can description
 Supported file formats for export:
  * .dbc
  * .dbf
  * .kcd
  * .xls(x)
  * .json Canard (open source!)
  * .arxml (very basic implementation)
  * .yaml (dump of the python object)
  * .sym

I intend to maintain this package (and another CAN bus related package) within
the Debian Python Modules Team.
